In the Great Palace of Pella, the capital of Macedonia.
Looking at the latest information in his hand, Alexander sighed heavily.
"Alas! I never thought the Stobi were so powerful. As long as they want to defend, I'm afraid any Stobi city will be impossible to break through! Take a look at the intelligence we just got from Eubia!"
As he spoke, Alexander handed a piece of paper to Seleucus.
Seleucus took it in surprise, read it carefully, and his face changed color.
"What? The Euboean navy killed the king in battle! Now they have returned to the Euboean Islands!" Seleucus exclaimed.
Ramtha, the king of Eubia, was a madman who was no less than Philip.
What happened in Botaitia at that time that caused the Eubia army to mutiniate and return home, even at the cost of killing the king?
"We underestimated Stoby and acted like a villain in vain! If we had known this would happen, we should have told them the news in advance. Perhaps we could have improved our relationship! Sigh!"
Alexander sighed.
Ramsa went to great lengths and launched a feint attack in an attempt to tie down Macedonia's forces.
In this way, his intention was exposed and Alexander guessed his intention.
At that time, only Macedonia in the Great North knew that Eubia would attack from the sea.
If Alexander chose to inform Stoby, he believed that it would greatly ease the relationship between the two sides and buy some buffer time for his own efforts.
However, he did not, but instead strengthened the eastern front's defenses as soon as possible.
He also informed Methonian and greatly strengthened the defense of the area west of Botaitia.
In this way, once the Eubia army lands in Botaitia, its development in the east and west will be hindered, and it will definitely head towards the north where the defense is weak.
This was Alexander's calculated plan to drive the tiger to devour the wolf. If it went smoothly, he believed that it would definitely bring disaster to Stoby!
After the Euboeans won a tragic victory, he took the initiative and mobilized the countries in the northern region to counter-invasion.
In that way, Macedonia will surely rise again!
Becoming the new leader of the Great Northern Region is only a matter of course!
But, I never expected it.
The four million strong army of Eubia could not even capture the port of Botaitia.
Even Ramsa, the king of Eubia, died in this battle.
In this way, all the arrangements will be in vain!
"My king, there is no need to be discouraged. Although Stobi is no longer within our reach, we still have the opportunity to expand after this war. It's just that this opportunity is in the south, not the north," Seleucus reminded.
In the south, not in the north?
Hearing this, Alexander was slightly stunned, then came to his senses.
For many years, Philip's dream was to cross Mount Olympus, go south into the truly rich land of the civilized world and dominate it.
A regicide occurred in Eubia, and the country will surely be in chaos in the short term.
Taking this opportunity to go south, perhaps we can really expand new territory, and it will be a territory richer than Thessaloniki!
Some time ago, in order to prevent Eubia's army from attacking westward after landing, Alexander has comprehensively strengthened the defense on the eastern front!
In this way, when sending troops south, there will be fewer worries and no need to worry about Stoby cutting off his retreat.
Without hesitation, Alexander immediately led his army into battle.
He planned to attack the chaotic Eubia and fulfill his father's lifelong dream of acquiring a fertile territory south of Mount Olympus.
Xia Zhe didn't know what Macedonia was planning to do.
After returning to Stoby, Xia Zhe, still in shock, saw Ajax who had been waiting in the study.
"Report to my king, we have learned the whereabouts of the King's Heart in Seranda!"
I found out the heart of the king!
Hearing this, Xia Zhe suddenly became excited and put everything else behind him.
"Hurry up and tell me! What exactly happened?" Xia Zhe asked anxiously.
Ajax reported the information he had received verbatim.
The Seranda region is located thousands of kilometers to the west, far to the west of Mount Olympus.
Further west is the end of the continent - the Ionian Sea!
On the other side of the ocean, there are several continents, but the countries on them are unfamiliar to the people of the civilized world.
In fact, the densely forested Seranda region is already mysterious enough in the eyes of the civilized world.
Although the people living there are also barbarians, they are completely different from the barbarians in the north and east.
They admire the power of nature and love to move flexibly in the forest. They are natural archers!
In that vast forest, the heavy infantry of the civilized world could hardly move forward!
When Xia Zhe first entered this world, the tactic of using skirmishers to defeat infantry was what the archers of the city-states of Seranda were best at.
The one hundred teams sent by Ajax entered dozens of city-states in the Seranda region.
Relying on hard work and the charm of money, several groups set their sights on a city-state called Hyperion.
Hyperion is located on the west coast of the continent. It has always been ruled by women and is the most powerful city-state in Seranda.
I heard that a few years ago, when the previous queen was traveling overseas, she accidentally obtained an orange heart of king.
She was very fond of this object, so she brought the Heart of the King back to the main city and enshrined it in the temple.
But it was this decision that brought endless disasters to Hebron!
The legend of the King's Heart is more widespread in Seranda than in the civilized world.
Upon learning that Queen Hyperion had the heart of a king, all the city-states became greedy.
They formed an alliance in secret and attacked Hyperion, attempting to steal the Heart of the King from the temple.
Thanks to the bloody fighting of the soldiers, Hebron finally succeeded in defending his main city.
But the queen died in the chaos, and other cities guarding the main city were also divided and occupied by the enemy.
Hebryan's strength plummeted.
The King's Heart was also considered an ominous object, and the elders decided to discard it after a meeting.
Throw it away in a place where no one can find it!
Afterwards, no one ever saw the King's Heart again, and Hyperion fell into ruin, becoming a small, insignificant city-state.
It was not until a few months ago that a mysterious female general gathered the scattered warriors together and fought to retake the territory that belonged to Hyperion from other city-states.
"What's the point of you saying all this? I just want to know where the King's Heart is! I don't care who's fighting whom!"
Hearing this, Xia Zhe interrupted Ajax irritably.
"We certainly don't care who fights whom! But when our people asked the female general, she said this," Ajax explained.
"What are you talking about!" Xia Zhe asked in surprise.
"She said. King Stobi comes personally with his troops to help, and I will tell you where the King's Heart is," Ajax replied.
Go and help in person?
Hearing this, Xia Zhe curled his lips helplessly.
